Thanks for stopping by. Busy week & we're burning daylight.
I'm having a great time visiting FCW in Tampa. The development of new stars is a HUGE priority for WWE. What's more important as it relate to in ring talent? Nothing. The combined staff at FCW is doing a really solid job teaching fundementals to some promising youngsters.
The Wednesday promo class, where the individuals have the opportunity to create their own verbiage was excellent. Some talents were highly entertaining and spot on from where I was sitting. This area has improved greatly since I was last in Tampa.
I had a long talk w/ the group about the responsibilities that come w/ being a WWE Superstar which is everyone at FCW's goal. In my personal opinion, individuals making poor or selfishly bad personal decisions have opened the door leading to their own exit. Humans make mistakes and should be provided second chances, as a rule, but some issues merit immediate dismissal. Don't want to come off as a hardass but this generation in general seems to be more prone to bonehead mistakes and errors in judgment...see Braylon Edwards of the NY Jets, for example. Simply 'do right' and all usually works out as it should.
WWE has assembled a nice roster in Tampa that possesses plenty of upside that should evolve in time. Patience, hard work, outside the ring study, gym work, and upping the passion will help many of the better athletes find their way to the big time. I think that I may have perhaps been a coach in a different life as I really enjoy interacting w/ the young talents. I sure hope that I've been able to help them.
I will be back here on a monthly basis which is the only way that I can accurately determine who's improving and at what rate.
Heading to Cincinnati on Friday to attend a dangerous, road game for my Sooners. The game is at Paul Brown Stadium, home of the Bengals. I invite you to check out my OUInsider blog, help me get my numbers up, at http://ouinsider.com?news/story.php?article=5111. Look for the black hat on the OU sideline at 6 eastern on ESPN 2.
I missed NXT Tuesday night as Syfy isn't on my hotel's TV system.
Just updated the Q&A section of this site and invite you to check it out. We had some good questions this go around.
We need to kick up our on line biz and appreciate your consideration. We have some super values available and shipping costs you nothing if you live in the USA.
Time to head back to FCW where tonite it gets physical during the three, one hour TV shoot. Very anxious to see what transpires tonite. Hope to see athleticsm, intensity, and fundemental soundness.
My WWE Ross Report will be live later today at www.wwe.com.
Boomer Sooner!
